I’ve made some big improvements in my 3” 1911 .45ACP with regards to feeding reliability by shortening the extractor and polishing the feed ramp.
*
The issue that remains is the second round in a fully loaded 7 round mag does not always feed fully, and I have to push the slide forward about 0.1” to fully reach battery. It seems to me that friction is the main culprit, so I’m wondering if polishing the chamber of the barrel is a good idea.

I’m a little reserved about polishing the chamber, because I do not want to have a measurable effect on the roundness, diameter, or the sharp edge of case mouth support.
